"Too far left" is kind of a nonsense phrase. I understand what people mean when they say it, but their use of that expression tells me they don't understand what the Left is or what the Left wants. Shout out to @rachelgilmore.bsky.social

People, this is how fascism gets normalized.

Here's a thought. Ban the fucking #AI.

I'm serious.

But LLMs and Gen AI are generating way more GHG emissions, wrecking power grids and stealing drinking water.

And the only use case I see is scams, chatbots that drive you insane and CSAM.

@rasmansa.bsky.social counterpoint?

Well, I would have no objection to diplomacy. But the consensus across multiple media outlets is that Carney was speaking about military participation.

"Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters in Australia that Canada would not rule out military participation in the Middle East."

Here's CTV.

Radlib tactic number 48: when pressed for an answer to a very simple question, provide a mealy-mouthed response that effectively says nothing.

One more time, @cheryllynnebradley.bsky.social, should Canada participate in the war against Iran or not?

You literally said that Carney is our Churchill. I don't know what you're complaining about.
March 5, 2026 at 5:08 PM
Carney is Churchill? I mean, sure, I suppose, given that Churchill was also a POS.

But the symbolism of the guy leading the fight against Nazism? Sorry, no.

The morally correct position is "No, Canada will not assist the US in its illegal war."

I'm going to make one last appeal to your humanity before I give up on you.

This man who opposes you. Tell me what you see. An enemy or a frightened person in need of help.

Read what these people are saying

Now this guy is every bit as reductive and intransigent as you are. He's your counterpart on the other side. And I'm half tempted to go argue with him. Try to persuade him to see leftists as humans with valid concerns.

But I want you to ask yourself a question.

That's an interesting word choice. "Let"

It implies two things.

1) That you have the power to stop the party from nominating someone you don't like.

2) That most liberals want to nominate Newsom.

I think that if you look at what the other side is saying, you'll see that 2 is wrong.

Look. Right here. They're telling you what they're afraid of.

I don't think that's true by the way. I think most leftists suck it up every 4 years and vote for the Dem. Because that's what the data says.

But *they* think it's true. In spite of said data.

I had a cat named Boo.

He died. He died.

Mom told me he was sleeping.

She lied! She lied!

Why oh why is my poor kitty dead?

Couldn't that cancer have killed #Elon instead?

Watched the video, @jessiegender.bsky.social. So let me just say this. I am not a New Trek hater. I liked most of Discovery, some of Picard. Loved Lower Decks and Prodigy.

But if they only way to keep #StarTrek alive is no turn it into the antithesis of everything it stands for, then let it die.

These stuffies were placed outside the US Embassy in Ottawa. Their signs originally read "Yankee, stay home." Which I interpreted to mean, "Don't invade us."

But I would rather the signs say this. #cdnpoli #immigration

I stumbled across this disgusting joke, reported it and got this BS response from Meta.

Now I'm gonna ask you guys to report it. And to have your followers do the same. Let's ruin a Nazi's day.

So set me get this straight. The pro-Israel lobby is defending a Nazi salute.

This is what I was talking about five years ago. Dishonest people will appropriate social-justice language to cover their crimes. Don't fall for it.
